Mac FX failing pluginval.....

[Lindon]

@Lindon okay so now its getting a bit silly....

I have 4 instances of a script node in my plugin, all compiled, all the same and if I activate 2 of them we pass, if I activate the third , we fail with this Nan silliness...

...aaaand it turns out(by the look of things) that it is this third script node Hardcoded effect that is somehow corrupted....delete instance 3 - add a new instance 3 in its place and we pass pluginval...

...how in Gods name are we ever going to find this sort of thing beyond laboriously deleting and replacing every single scriptnode/hardcoded effect until it works...????

@Lindon I'm having to re-save a lot of my networks just to get the dll to compile. Have had to rebuild entire networks to get it over the line too. Am wondering whether there's issues with networks made before Hise 5 but compiling them in Hise 5.

[Lindon]

@DanH well Im not using HISE 5.

@Lindon what about setting the strictness level of pluginval to a lower value?
I don’t really know what it does though… I always keep mine at 10

10, 7 , whatever same same...

@Lindon what if you put the entire network in a frame container?

Thanks yes that may help, but as you may see above the issue seems resolved - well this issue anyway - with this product, somehow the 3rd Hardcoded FX was corrupted. Simply deleting it, and replacing it and loading the same script again made it work...

Of course this sort of breaks my mental model of how HISE is working at any level with Hardcoded FX.

i.e. If I load the same compiled script node into 4 different Hardcoded FX aren't they using and referencing the same "spot" in the DLL?, If so then if its broken(corrupt) for one HCFX shouldn't it be broken for all of them?

Yes, but the error you describe is not a deterministic programming logic error but a case of undefined behaviour - something in there is not clearing the buffers correctly and this may or may not result in trash values being in there which is what pluginval complained about.

Okay, well its all a bit academic and I dont want to monopolise your time, but that sorta doesnt jive with my understanding(which may well be where the fault lies)... these HCFX are simple filters, and there is no signal being sent thru them by pluginval, and they work fine in 3 cases (slots 1,2, & 4) but not a 4th(slot 3), where all cases are exactly the same "piece of code". One of them is generating "something unpleasant"(tm) which I might thing was the cumulative effect of the previous signal modifications, but then the 4th slot should accept this unpleasant output and reproduce it again, and it doesnt....

So bypass slot 3, but include slots 1,2, & 4 = passes
Bypass Slot 4, and include 1,2 & 3 = fail
bypass everything except 3 = fail
Bypass any combo that includes slot 3 = pass

well never mind this bit is working, more pressing issues(like the macro modulators not working at all...)
